Why play Burning Wheel at Go Play?

Peter Blake has two games on offer. As well as running Michael Wenman’s Quincunx, he’s also going to run the granddaddy of indie games – Burning Wheel. Here’s what he has to say about it.

It’s the fantasy game where every character has beliefs that challenge the status quo. Continually pushing the envelope is the only way to grow, but doing so pushes you into conflict with other movers and shakers – and some of them are bound to push back.
In this game, you’ll:
• Be an elf, or beat an elf – it’s your choice.
• Determine the fate of nations.
• Quite possibly see someone go mad from Greed or Grief.

I’ve played this scenario with Peter and had a great time with it. You will too.
